And I dont blame him
Leaving was the best thing he could do
With all the changes
I just hope he's happy when he does the things he thinks he has to do
And he tries. And he tries. And he tries so hard but all by himself
Somehow he's trying to be someone else
And he says, he says, he says its brilliant there
There's something in the air
And sunshine everywhere
He's on the beach
I know he's changed somehow
He's in Australia
And he's on the beach
And he says its brilliant there
